Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

It is Thursday but Sunday is coming and LaVon and I are in Norman, Ok. We are staying with her mom, helping her get back to her old ways. Yesterday wasn't a good day for her. We don't know how long we will be here or what the future holds. We ask you to be in prayer with us as we travel this road.

I read this today. As always, it fits our life.

Thanks for your emails, phone calls and prayers. You are very important to us.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on,

Don

"Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies."—Psalm 34:12-13

"Difficult times help us appreciate the good times. Without some failure, we cannot fully appreciate success.

How often do we catch ourselves saying, “I’m having a bad day”? It is an amazing fact that our brains can convince our bodies they are sick. We’re like the little boy who creates a stomachache so he won’t have to go to school. And, we also have the ability to make every day pretty good. Waking up with a positive attitude, ready to face anything in the strength of the Lord just about guarantees a good day. The Psalmist adds to the verse above with these words: “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” Good days are like mountain peaks. There is a journey, a struggle to get to the top of a mountain, but once there…the view is awesome and the climb worth it.

God wants to help us have good days. In fact, He promises to be with us for every event, every step, for every day. God gives us the confidence to find the good and to just be good! One of the best things about having a good day is that it affects everyone around us. Our good days make other people have better days. Our good days demonstrate the love of Jesus in us. And that is why we live!"

May you have a good day!
